He Found a Wife Who Wanted Him Only
She didn’t want his gifts just his heart
He Found a Wife Who Wanted Him Only
He gave black diamonds and pearls
to girls who wanted sparkle
their hands full, their hearts light
they smiled for the shine, not him
He waited for love
in rooms that only echoed desire
gifts piled high, unneeded
he wondered if anyone saw him
They came and went
laughing, sparkling, leaving
he gave more, hoping
their eyes would catch his soul
Then she appeared
her hands empty, her heart steady
she did not reach for the diamonds
she did not chase the pearls
He gave her only himself
and she held him close
her love unbought, untaken
the treasure was in his arms
At last he knew
the gift that mattered most
was never diamonds or pearls
it was the love this girl had for him

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.
